Loan Types
Should I choose an FHA or a conventional loan?
Context
FHA and conventional are the two most common loan types, and the right pick depends on your financial profile.
The short answer
FHA often works better for lower credit scores or smaller down payments, but it carries mortgage insurance premiums that can last the life of the loan. Conventional usually costs less over time if your credit and down payment are strong, and its PMI can be removed.
Things to keep in mind
The right answer depends on your numbers, not a one-size-fits-all rule.
